A/N: Sorry for the hiatus, I hate myself, I really do. Especially, when I don't update. This chapter is just a filler. I hope you still enjoy it. Again, sorry.

Chapter 7: Team Bonding
___________________________________________________________________________________________

HITOMI's POV
A SCOWL WAS permanently on my face since the voices impeded doom to my life. What do you do once you're told your life is turning for the worst? I trusted no one with my problems and I want my brother's life as happy as possible, so telling him my problems will drown his happiness so mercilessly.

So, as I sit with Sakura and 'guard' Tazuna, I frown at my surroundings. There's nothing to do here except watching the men work on the bridge. I could talk to Sakura, but I never got along with her.

She was all looks and only cares for Sasuke. Yes, I admit that she did well in a classroom setting, but other than that, I found nothing to like her for. She hates my brother, constantly bashing him and his actions, and she's also abusive towards him. I mean, what does he do to her to annoy her so much? Then, in our team, she's the weakest link. She doesn't fight. We're always protecting her. She's a Kunoichi yet she screams whenever she's in trouble.

Ugh, no! Until she learns to stand up and protect herself, I won't respect her. I will tolerate her, but not respect, she's a Kunoichi for Kami's sake, I scoff, crossing my arms.

Plus, there's the fact where we're complete opposites. Sakura's more empathetic, while I'm very avoidant of emotions except for anger. Sakura's mush, and I'm all sharp knives. She's girly in every form, and I'm, well...I'm girly in a fierce way.

"So... You like Sasuke? How can you, a nice girl, like an ass like him," I scoff, turning towards the red-clad Kunoichi. "I don't understand the logic in that."

"W-what? Of course, I like Sasuke," Sakura tells me.

I shake my head, "No. I know that already, I'm asking why?"

Sakura sighs, resting her head on her hands as her elbows sit on her knees. "It's obvious, Hitomi. Sasuke is strong! He's smart! He's very good looking, and he's so dreamy," she explains to me.

My eye twitches.

'She's annoying.'

'Very annoying.'

Tell me about it, I mentally groan.

"Sakura, I know that. What I'm asking is why do you like him? He treats you very badly, he doesn't respect you, he calls you names straight to your face, so why do you like him? Do you like him because every other girl likes him, or do you actually have deep rooted feelings for him," I explain, throwing her a glance.

I watch as Sakura turns her body, suddenly growing tense. I notice as her emerald eyes darken to a shade of juniper. "W-why do you care?! Do you like Sasuke!? I swear Hitomi if you li-"

I burst out laughing. Me like Sasuke? That's like me wanting my brother dead, that's madness.

"No, Sakura. I don't even care about Sasuke or what he does. And I care because Sakura, even if I don't like you right now or anytime soon, I-I know that you're important to...the team. Plus, if he hurts you, I don't want to listen to all your crying afterwards," I explain, making a face at the thought.
